Breaking Changes in Eyeshot version 2022

This page lists the important behavior and API changes that were introduced in this version. If you already have projects using devDept products, you will need to peruse this list in order to understand the changes you might need to make to your source code to support this new release.

BC-179	Relocated Unlock() method	The Unlock() method has been moved to the new class devDept.LicenseManager and must be called only once at the beginning of the application (before any Eyeshot object is created).
BC-178	Renamed Brep.GetStraightEdgeIndex() method	Renamed Brep.GetStraightEdgeIndex() method to GetEdgeIndex().
BC-177	Changed signature of Design.NewSketch(Brep brep, GBrep.Face face) method	Changed signature of Design.NewSketch(Brep brep, GBrep.Face face) method. It now accepts faceIndex as first input parameter.
BC-176	Changed signature of Design.EditSketch() method	Changed signature of Design.EditSketch() method. It no longer accepts parents as input parameter.
BC-175	Replaced Design.OpenSketch() method	Replaced Design.OpenSketch() method with EditSketch().
BC-174	Params refactory	Changed signature of TraversalParams constructors, now the Transformation param is optional. Moved SmallParams field from TraversalParams to FrustumParams. Removed set accessor on Deviation, Angle, and MaxLength properties of IRegenParams ( RegenParams and ComputeTessellationParams ) Removed set accessor on the following properties: ComputeTessellationParams.CloneVertices, TraversalParams.Blocks, TraversalParams.WorkSpace.
BC-173	Brep face color change requires a Compile	Due to Brep drawing optimizations, now after changing the face color, the Brep needs to be recompiled to see the changes.
BC-172	Center of rotation	The default center of rotation for assembly active component (current BlockReference) was changed to active component bounding box center.
BC-171	Home toolbar button	Changed Home toolbar button animation settings. Now it syncs with "ViewCube.AnimateCamera" setting.
